Recreational Development Is
Planned For Local Vicinity
W. S. Crawford At Last Real
izes Dream, Development To
Feature Boating, Swimming
By GLADYS BEST TRIP
Boat races and swimming in a pic
turesque lake, a rustic clubhouse over
looking the water this is the develop
ment W. S. Crawford is planning
within three miles of Chapel Hill. The
ridge-and-valley tract for the plan is
to the north and west of the Durham
highway. If the new four-lane high
way goes through, it will pass at the
foot of the hill itself. .
'Tor nearly three years I have
worked toward this one idea of pro
viding a recreational center for the
University and Chapel Hill commun
ity, ahd for Duke and Durham," said
Crawford a few days ago as he point
ed out the wooded hill and valley re
splendent in autumn colors.
"This work has required a great deal
of time arid patience," he continued.
"It included a survey of the drainage
area of Booker creek, a report of the
water supply, a public health survey
and approval, a survey of the lake
basin and water level, conferences with
the state board of health, arid state
conservation authorities.
"The University can -6wri arid op
erate it if it wants to," he added, "and
at it very small cost"
The partly-graded road to the high
est point chosen for the clubhouse
winds around -the .hill. -Most of the
driveways have been cleaned out, and
over 12,000 feet of roadways graded.
A two-inch water line has also been
laid ,for 1,500 feet toward the club
house.1 The lake basiii is nearly all
cleared, and the site for the dam of
Booker creek to fill the lake with water
has been chosen.
The lake will cover 55 to 65 acres
and be approximately a mile long. Be

206 Phillips hall.
Applications should be made as
soon as possible, and not later than
November 12, to Dr. R. E. Coker,

other lakes near Chapel Hill.
The 300 acres surrounding it rise
from the border of the lake into the
high hills overlooking Chapel Hill and
Durham. Crawford plans to sell lots
to residents of both Chapel Hill and
Durham who enjoy seclusion and yet
do not wish to be far in the country.
Mr. White, the United States mala
rial control officer, who recently vis
ited the area, wrote to Crawford: "It
is one of the most ideal pond sites I
have ever seen."
Our Boy Wolf , At
Age Of 34, Has
Nice Record, Too
By SHELLET ROLFE
The winter and spring of 1936
were particularly hectic in the
sporting scene both in Chapel
Hill and elsewhere around the
nation. The Graham plan was
adopted by the Southern confer
ence, and Carl Snavely, who had ;
won 15 games in two seasons as
coach of the University of North
Carolina football team, perhaps
starting to feel a future pinch of
talent caused by the now dead
and buried plan, resigned to move
to greener fields at Cornell.-
The Tar Heel basketball squad
played in Madison Square garden for
the first time in its history and was
slaughtered by NYU. Winter turned
to spring, W & L dethroned Carolina
as Southern conference basketball
champions, Maxie Baer was the num
ber one fighter in the heavyweight
scheme, the Detroit Tigers were cham
pions of the baseball universe. And
Carolina was without a football coach.
Came May 7, and the Athletic asso
ciation, after looking at hundreds of
applications announced Raymond B.
Wolf, line-coach at TCU, as the new
Carolina bossman. Wolf came to
Chapel Hill, and had a brief two weeks
of spring practice.
ANCIENT HISTORY
The fall of 1936 he won eight out
of ten, dropping contests to Tulane
and Duke. Last fall Carolina took the
conference crown, losing only to Ford
ham in nine games. So far this season,
the Tar Heels have won four put of
five. They play Duke tomorrow; the
story is up to date.
, Wolf is a Chicagoan by way of
Texas and three years in South Amer
ica. He was born in Chicago 34 years
ago. Four year later his family moved
to Chicago, and at a tender age, Wolf
took up football, baseball, basketball,
and track. He won letters in all four
sports at Fort Worth high school.
After spending his early teens in
South America with his family his
father is a branch manager for Libby
McNeil and Libby Bear came back
to enter TCU. He played guard on the
football team and was all Southwest
ern for two seasons. Captaining his
baseball team his senior year, he made
all conference in that sport.
TRICKY, THESE KNEES
Wolf, after his graduation, took a
whirl at big league baseball with the
Cincinnati Reds. A trick knee went
bad during his second year and he gave
up baseball to return to TCU as assist
ant freshman coach.
Wolf stands 5 feet 11, weighs 200
pounds. He has a receding bald spot
at the back of his heada memento
from wearing a football helmet. He
can't for the life of him, tell, you why
folks call him Bear.
His system is a modification of the
Warner style of play, replete with re
verses, spinners, and . passes. , He has
yet to unfold some of the Southwest
ern hooper-dooper but there's always
a first time. Maybe it will be today.

Tennessean Wallace
Wade Born In 1898,
Footballer Since
By WILLIAM L. BEERMAN
Many years ago, in 1896 to be
exact, there was born to Robert
Bruce and Sarah Ann Wade a
bouncing baby boy, who very
shortly made the acquaintance
of a football. Its name was Wal
lace Wade (the bouncing boy, not
the football).
In his home town of Trenton, Teniu,
the lad grew up as boys will be boys,
y know. Soon thereafter he wasma
triculating at Trenton high school,
and later did the same at Morgan Park
academy in Chicago. Later he fol
lowed in the footsteps of a brother
and went to Brown university, work
ing at a part time job in order to pay
his way through. He went out for the
football team, and for three years he
played guard.
It was while at Brown that Wallace
Wade first made his contact with the
structure with which he was later to
be associated frequently namely, the
Rose Bowl. He was a member of the
squad that made the honorary trip in
1916 to meet Washington State. One
year later, Wade graduated and im
mediately . enlisted in the army; he
was made a captain of cavalry and
assigned to the various training camps
in the country.
DAWN OF A CAREER
Came the Armistice, and Wade went
but to seek his first coaching position.
He began at Fitzgerald and Clark prep
school, in Tennessee, and in 1921 was
called to Vanderbilt to assist the great
Dan McGugin. For two seasons the
Commodores went undefeated, but
Wallace Wade, rapidly rising in his
chosen profession, left in 1923 to take
over the job of head coach at the Uni
versity of Alabama. There he method
ically proceeded to build the football
teams which were soon to occupy a
prominent spot in the national eye.
For eight successful years Wade
stayed at 'Bama, and four times did
the Crimson Tide win the Southern
conference championship; and three
times did his teams go to the Rose
Bowl. In 1931, after his lads had badly
beaten Washington State in the Bowl
game, Wade packed his toothbrush and
football knowledge and came to Duke.
LITTLE BOY BLUES
And there he has been for seven
years, producing lp-hotch teams sea
son after season. To date he has given
the Blue Devils an enviable record,
having won 59 games while losing 14
and tying three. Wade has made two
great AH-Americans, tackle Fred
Crawford in 1933 and halfback Ace
Parker in 1936. ,
. The amazing mentor has a lifetime
record of football wins that, far sur
passes that of the average coach. In
his 19 years of coaching, .Wade has
seen 149 victories credited to his teams
and only 30 losses. Eight ties are in
his .record book.
It has been , said, especially during
the past year, that Wily Wallace would
forsake his old job and retire in order
to spend his full time with the ath
letic directorship of Duke. But he
would like to beat Carolina once more
before doing so.

'TOBACCO ROAD"
AGENT 0NCAMPUS
Carlton Miles, advance agent and
director of the touring "Tobacco
Road", company with New York cast,
arrived . on ; the campus this week to
make plans for a performance in
Memorial hall on Wednesday night,
November 9, Dr. Frederick H. Koch
announced yesterday. The Play
makers will sponsor the production.
This drama of the Georgia share
croppers, written by Jack Kirkland,
and based on a novel by Erskine Cald
well, has run for five years on Broad
way, approaching within a few weeks
the record of "Abie's Irish Rose."
The leading role of Jeeter Lester, the
squalid, .unkempt, 'ignorant share
cropper bound to the land by a blind
devotion is played by John Barton,
brother of James Barton, second man
to play the role in New York.
"Tobacco Road-' is credited with
being the only play ever to cause the
introduction of a resolution into Con
gress. Congressman Kramer of Cali
fornia asked for an economic investi
gation of the people with whom it
deals. The Julius Rosenwald fund was
also stimulated to make an investiga
tion into the economic condition of
the poor whites.
Study of the play in published form
is required as extra-curricula work in
the English departments of 16 collegs
and universities.

CPU DELEGATION
GOESTOSEMBLY
A CPU delegation will represent the
University at the annual Student leg
islature assembly in Raleigh Novem
ber 4 to 5, it was announced by Voit
Gilmore in a meeting of the union yes
terday afternoon.
The committee will consist of Dr.
E. J. Woodhouse, professor of polit
ical science, Sam Hobbs, Bill Cole,
Studie Ficklen, Harry Gatton, Hyman
Phillips, and Voit Gilmore.
Students from many North Caro
lina colleges will discuss and vote on
bills presented by the delegates them
selves. One such bill signed by vari
ous notaries from Wake Forest and
State and Samuel E. Hobbs of Caro
lina take pointed notice of the contro
versy following President Roosevelt's
description of the South as "America's
No. 1 Economic Problem." "Southern
youth," it begins, "rejects the insin
uation that it prefers poverty and un
directed individualism to prosperity
and progress." And continues in the
vein, "We urge defenders of 'South
ern initiative' to give constructive pro
posals. Criticism of 'federal interfer
ence' is not enough."
